Firefox extension unlocking with biometrics

Please enable the biometric-unlock in firefox again.

@Jan3 Welcome to the forum!

I just unlocked my Firefox extension via biometrics. (Which version of the BW Firefox extension and BW desktop app do you use? Are they up-to-date?)

… So what you request, is already there - and therefore I just closed this feature request (with some delay).

If you have a specific thing that “doesn’t work” you could explain it in more detail. - If it’s very likely a bug, you should report it on GitHub though.

Thank you for answering so quickly.
Extention 2025.5.0
Desktop 25.5.1
Firefox 139.0.4
I cant find no newer versions.

I can only click on the “unlock with biometrics” right after installing the extention, then it(the browser) promts me to allow comunication with other programms and when I click agree, the extention closes. And on the next instance of the extention the “unlock with bio” is greyed out.

Did you set that (biometrics with the extension) up the first time?

Or did you use it a longer time before and now it stopped working?

Did you “Allow browser integration” (–> File → Settings) in the BW desktop app?

I did not, searched for at leased two hours :sleepy_face:, it would be nice if there were a reminder in the extention. But now it works, thank you!

Glad, I could help.

As this is now resolved, I changed it into an “Ask the Community” topic.

BTW, the Bitwarden Help Sites are often actually quite good:
